The crew of the 80-foot wooden boat Yabá attempts a circumnavigation of Florianópolis, Brazil, navigating under two bridges and through shallow, sandbank-heavy waters.2:13 While maneuvering toward an anchorage near Piñera, the vessel runs aground on a sandbank.24:24 With a draft of 1.3 meters, the boat strikes the bottom in shallow water; the crew avoids reversing to prevent fouling the propeller with a trailing dinghy line.25:50 Instead, they use hard starboard rudder and forward engine power to pivot the bow and bounce the keel off the sand.25:50 The transit involves managing four sails in 20-knot winds and navigating around numerous mussel and oyster farm markers that restrict the channel.5:03 After clearing the sandbank with guidance from a nearby vessel, the crew reaches their destination.27:32 The experience highlights the necessity of monitoring depth sounders closely in sandbank-prone areas and the effectiveness of using engine power and rudder to pivot off soft ground when reversing is not an option.
